Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  As a kind of gaming machine, a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, and the like are known. These gaming machines are provided with a control board on which electronic components such as a ROM (Central Processing Unit) and a ROM storing a control program related to the game are mounted, and a series of games are controlled by the control board. . In recent years, some CPUs and ROMs are integrated into a single chip and mounted on a control board.

  In this type of gaming machine, for the purpose of obtaining illegal profits, the control board is illegally removed and the ROM in the board (if the CPU or ROM is integrated into one chip) is replaced with a game. There have been many reports of fraudulent actions against the control board, such as changing the contents or inputting unauthorized electrical signals to the control board from the outside using lead wires, etc. ing. For example, the board box is made of a transparent case so that the state of the control board can be easily seen from the outside. The board box is provided with a sealing structure (so-called caulking structure), and the board box is broken when the board box is opened. Unauthorized countermeasures are adopted such as leaving a history of unsealing or attaching a seal sticker that cannot be re-applied to the joint of the pair of upper and lower case bodies constituting the substrate box and leaves a trace when peeled off. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  However, even if the above countermeasures against fraud are taken, fraudulent acts may still be performed, and even if the control board device adopts the sealing structure or the sealing seal, no trace of fraud remains. In this way, it is conceivable to make a trick. As for the sealing sticker, for example, it is conceivable that the sealing sticker is skillfully peeled once and then re-applied to the substrate box to restore the original state.

  First, invention groups that can be extracted from the present embodiment are shown as means n (n = 1, 2, 3,...), And will be described while showing effects and the like as necessary. In the following, for ease of understanding, the corresponding configuration in the present embodiment is appropriately shown in parentheses, but is not limited to the specific configuration shown in parentheses.

Means 1. A control board device (main control) having a plurality of separable case bodies (box base 280, box cover 290) and a control board (main board 270) accommodated in an internal space formed by the plurality of case bodies. In a gaming machine equipped with a device 271), a seal (sealing seal 330) is attached so as to straddle the boundary between the case bodies,
The seal is
A rectangular base member (base sheet 331) provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332) on the back side;
An IC chip (IC chip 333a) provided on the back side of the base member and storing identification information (ID information);
Similarly, it is provided on the back side of the base member and is brittle enough to be partially destroyed by the stress associated with the force to peel off the seal. The identification information stored in the IC chip is transferred to the reader (scanner). A long antenna (antenna portion 333b) that can transmit,
A plurality of outer edge notches (outer edge notches 337) are formed at least at the corners of the base member so as to extend from the outer periphery toward the inside and the inner end portions are linear or acute-angled,
Further, the antenna extends from one side of the base member to one side so that the longitudinal direction thereof intersects all the side directions of the base member and straddles the boundary between the case bodies together with the base member. A gaming machine characterized by being arranged as described above.

  In the gaming machine, the seal provided on the control board device is provided with an IC chip and an antenna on the back side of the base member, and the identification information stored in the IC chip can be transmitted to the reader by the antenna. It has become. And since the said seal | sticker is affixed so that the boundary between case bodies which accommodate a control board may be straddled, it is necessary to peel a seal | sticker from a case body in order to isolate | separate a case body.

  In this case, according to the means 1, a plurality of outer edge cuts extending from the outer periphery to the inner side are formed at least at the corners of the base member, and the inner ends of these outer edge cuts are linear or acute. Therefore, when the seal is peeled off from the corner, the stress accompanying the peeling force is concentrated on the inner end of the outer edge notch, and the base member is greatly broken. In this case, there is clearly a trace that the seal has been illegally peeled off, that is, that the fraud has been performed on the control board. However, in this configuration, by peeling along the direction perpendicular to the side from the entire side of the seal, the stress associated with the peeling force is distributed over the entire side of the base member so that the base member is not destroyed as much as possible. I can do it.

  On the other hand, the antenna extends from one side of the base member to the other side so that the longitudinal direction intersects all the side directions of the base member and straddles the boundary between the case bodies together with the base member. It is arranged like that. Therefore, if the seal is peeled off from the entire side, the breakage occurs in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna. And since an antenna is elongate and the dimension of the direction which cross | intersects the longitudinal direction of an antenna is short, an antenna will be parted in the position where destruction generate | occur | produced. In this case, since the manager of the game hall cannot check the identification information stored in the IC chip by the reader, it is possible to easily and surely find out that the control board has been cheated.

  In this means, by adopting a configuration in which the identification information stored in the IC chip is set in the gaming machine, the control board device attached to the gaming machine can be replaced with a control board device having an unauthorized control board. The replacement can be easily found.

Will not. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the seal from being easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip. That is, since the IC chip has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip in the seal and the case body. In this case, if the IC chip is on the outer edge side of the seal, the seal is easily peeled off by placing a finger in the gap between the outer edge and the case body. On the other hand, since the position of the IC chip is not the outer edge side of the seal as in this means, it is possible to suppress the seal from being easily peeled in the configuration including the IC chip having a predetermined thickness.

  Note that the above-described effect becomes more remarkable by disposing the IC chip at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna.

That is, the flanges 56 are cut off at the upper and lower and left and right ends of the rail unit 50 so that the rail diameter can be expanded in a finite area in the pachinko machine 10, that is, the game area on the game board 30 can be expanded. It has become. The rail unit 50 is disposed so that the position of the gaming area on the gaming board 30 that is the maximum width reaches the left and right end positions of the gaming board 30. Among the parts corresponding to the ball guide passages of the rail unit 50, particularly with respect to the game ball receiving part, the corresponding flange 56 is provided from others in order to firmly attach the rail unit 50 and stabilize the flight of the game ball. There are also many screws (three in this embodiment, two in the other).

  A convex portion 57 is formed at the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail portion 51 and the outer rail portion 52 so as to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is formed so as to extend downward from the outer peripheral portion of the inner rail portion 51, and has a function of guiding a foul ball that does not reach the game area and flows backward in the ball guide passage to the foul ball passage 76 (see FIG. 3). Have The lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces (Sa, Sb in the figure) for attaching seals and plates such as certificate stamps, and in order to secure this attachment space, the flange 56 Notches 58a and 58b are formed in the upper and lower portions. By adopting a configuration in which a sticker such as a stamp is directly pasted on the game board 30, it is difficult to improperly paste the stamp or the like.

  In the game board 30, a relay terminal hole 59 penetrating in the front-rear direction is provided in the upper left portion outside the rail unit 50, and through this relay terminal hole 59, a connector for connecting a relay terminal plate installed on the back of the game board 60 is exposed to the front side of the pachinko machine 10.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 3, in the resin base 25, below the window hole 26 (game board 30), a launch rail 61 for guiding the game ball immediately after being launched from the game ball launcher is attached. Yes. The firing rail 61 is fixedly attached to the resin base 25 via a metal plate 62 behind the firing rail 61, and is configured to extend linearly at a predetermined firing angle (launch angle). Accordingly, the game ball that is launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launch handle 18 is first launched obliquely upward along the launch rail 61 and then guided to the game area through the ball guide path. Here, in the present embodiment, the launch position of the game ball is lowered so that the inclination angle (launch angle) of the launch rail 61 is somewhat larger than the existing one (that is, the launch rail 61 is raised), and By forming the launch rail 61 so as to extend from the launch position of the game ball launcher to a position beyond the center position (out port 36) of the game area, the launch rail 61 is made longer than the existing one and sufficiently long. The ball guide distance is secured. Thereby, the game ball launched from the game ball launching device can be guided to the ball guide passage in a more stable state. Further, in order to stabilize the launch ball, the metal plate 62 provided with the launch rail 61 is enlarged, and the metal plate 62 is screwed at a number of locations (15 to 20 in this embodiment). Thus, the launch rail 61 is firmly positioned with respect to the game board 30.

  There is a predetermined gap between the firing rail 61 and the ball guide passage, and a foul ball passage 76 is provided below the gap. Accordingly, if the game ball launched from the game ball launching device does not reach the return ball prevention member 54 and returns as a foul ball in the ball guide passage, the foul ball passes through the foul ball passage 76 to the lower plate 16. To be discharged.

  When the foul balls flow backward in the ball guide passage, most of them flow along the outer rail portion 52 and fall downward when reaching the lower end portion of the outer rail portion 52. Some rampage in the ball guide passage and jump to the inner rail 51 side. At this time, the splashed foul ball hits the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the foul ball passage 76. Thereby, all of the foul balls are reliably guided to the foul ball passage 76, and interference between the foul balls and the game balls to be fired next is suppressed.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawings is omitted, one game ball is supplied to the game ball launching device one by one from the ball outlet on the front door frame 13 side (ball outlet leading from the most downstream portion of the upper plate 23). At this time, since the launch position of the game ball is lowered in this embodiment, the drop from the exit of the ball on the front door frame 13 side to the launch position becomes large, Guide members 63 and 64 are installed on the front side. Thereby, the game ball supplied from the ball exit on the front door frame 13 side is always set at a predetermined launch position, and a stable launch operation can be realized. In addition, the game ball launching device is provided with a ball striking rod that is supported so as to be rotatable about the base end portion, and a game ball is launched along with the rotation of the ball striking ball. It is rare. Therefore, while aiming to reduce the weight of the hitting ball by changing the material to a light metal such as aluminum and reducing the size of the hitting shaft, the head portion of the hitting ball (opposite to the base end) is required to ensure sufficient firing force. A weight is provided at the tip of the side. Thereby, sufficient and stable launch of the game ball can be realized. By providing the weight portion of the hitting ball projecting upward, the hitting ball can be easily picked or caught, and the effect of facilitating adjustment of the hitting strength of the hitting tip can be obtained.

A protrusion (or a wavy protrusion) is provided in the direction of the protrusion. The outer resin cover layer is transparent, and the inner resin cover layer is colored. Therefore, if the annular illumination part 102 is caused to emit light, it is possible to realize the illumination in a state of being dispersed in a large number or in a state accompanied with a stereoscopic effect. A resin material containing glass powder may be used for the resin cover layer. Such a configuration of the resin cover layer can also be applied to other electric decoration parts (for example, the central electric decoration part 103 and the prize ball lamp 105).

  The front door frame 13 is provided with a ball rental operation portion 120 at a position below the window portion 101. The ball lending operation unit 120 is provided with a ball lending button 121, a return button 122, and a frequency display unit 123. A ball lending operation, a card return operation, and confirmation of the card frequency can be performed by the ball lending operation unit 120 in a state where a bill or a card is inserted into a card unit (ball lending unit) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10. it can. That is, the ball lending button 121 is operated to obtain a lending ball based on information recorded on a card or the like (recording medium), and the lending ball is paid out as long as the remaining amount exists on the card or the like. The return button 122 is operated when requesting the return of a card or the like inserted into the card unit. The frequency display unit 123 displays remaining amount information such as a card. In addition, in a pachinko machine (so-called cash machine) in which game balls are rented directly from a ball lending device or the like to a top plate without using a card unit, the ball lending operation unit 120 is unnecessary. A decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion 120. Thereby, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 provided with the ball rental operation unit 120, the pachinko machine using a card unit (so-called CR machine) and the cash machine can be shared.

  On the back side of the front door frame 13, various metal reinforcing members are provided so as to surround the window portion 101. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, reinforcing plates 131, 132, 133, and 134 are attached to the back side of the front door frame 13 and on the left and right and upper and lower outer sides of the window portion 101, respectively. These reinforcing plates 131 to 134 are connected in contact with each other, but resin parts 135 for avoiding direct contact are interposed at the connecting portions of the left and upper reinforcing plates 132 and 133 in the drawing. Thereby, the closed loop of the electric path by the reinforcing plates 131 to 134 is cut, and the generation of a magnetic field causing noise is prevented.

  Assembling mechanisms for the main body frame 12 are attached to the upper and lower ends of the reinforcing plate 131 on the opening / closing axis line on the right side of FIG. Then, the mounting brackets 151 and 152 on the front door frame 13 side are attached to the support brackets 81 and 82 (see FIG. 3) on the main body frame 12 side. That is, a shaft hole that opens to the lower surface is formed in the lower mounting bracket 152, and the protruding shaft 84 of the lower support bracket 82 is inserted into the shaft hole, while the upper mounting bracket 151 By inserting the shaft portion into the support hole 83 of the upper support fitting 81, the front door frame 13 is supported to be openable and closable with respect to the main body frame 12. Further, the reinforcing plate 131 is provided with an engaging claw 131a having a hook shape at an intermediate position thereof, and the engaging claw 131a is formed in the hole 12a ( (See FIG. 3). Thereby, even in the pachinko machine 10 in which the front door frame 13 is configured in a form including the upper plate 23 and the upper and lower shaft support intervals thereof are increased, the front door frame 13 can be prevented from being lifted at the intermediate position. Therefore, an illegal act or the like floating the front door frame 13 is suppressed.

  A pair of upper and lower hook metal fittings 155 and 156 having a hook shape are attached to the reinforcing plate 132 on the opposite side to the opening / closing axis line on the left side of FIG. These metal fittings 155 and 156 extend rearward and are provided so as to correspond to the insertion holes 87 and 88 (see FIG. 3) provided in the main body frame 12. When the front door frame 13 is closed with respect to the main body frame 12, the metal fittings 155 and 156 are inserted into the insertion holes 87 and 88 on the main body frame 12 side and are locked by the locking device.

  A resin case 136 is attached to the lower reinforcing plate 134 at a position facing the firing rail 61. The resin case 136 accommodates a circuit board for the ball rental operation unit 120. The back surface of the resin case 136 (the surface visible in FIG. 5) is flat, and constitutes the side wall of the firing rail 61 when the front door frame 13 is closed. Therefore, the game ball is prevented from spilling forward from the launch rail 61.

  A ball passage rod 138 is installed at a part of the lower reinforcing plate 134 cut out toward the back of the pachinko machine 10, and at least above the ball passage rod 138, the pachinko machine 10 is also behind the pachinko machine 10. An eaves portion 139 extending toward the surface is provided. In this case, in a state where the front door frame 13 is closed on the main body frame 12 side, a ridge extending along the upper side of the communication port 72 on the main body frame 12 side enters between the ball passage rod 138 and the collar portion 139. Arranged. Therefore, even if a wire, a film, or the like is invaded from the ball passage rod 138 to perform an illegal act, it is very difficult to infiltrate the wire, the film, or the like to the game area. As a result, fraudulent acts performed using a wire, a film, or the like can be prevented.

  The reinforcing plates 131 to 134 described above also have a function as a metal frame for supporting the glass, and the inside of these reinforcing plates 131 to 134 is folded back to form a glass holding groove. The glass holding grooves are formed in two rows on the front and rear sides, and a pair of front and rear glasses 137 having a rectangular shape are held in each glass holding groove. Thereby, the two glass 137 is attached to the front and back at a predetermined interval.

  In a state where the front door frame 13 is closed, a part of the ball guide passage formed between the inner and outer rail portions 51 and 52 is covered with the front door frame 13. Therefore, in the ball guide passage, a portion where the opening portion on the near side cannot be covered with the glass 137 is formed. In such a case, for example, when the game ball launched from the game ball launching device returns without reaching the return ball prevention member 54, the game ball jumps out of the ball guide passage or between the outer rail portion 52 and the glass 137. There is a risk of getting caught in a gap that can be made. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a rail cover 140 is attached to the front door frame 13 so as to cover the front side opening portion of the ball guide passage. The rail cover 140 is a plate having a substantially arc shape, and is formed of a transparent resin. The rail cover 140 has an arc shape corresponding to the shape of the spherical guide passage, and covers a section from the base end portion of the spherical guide passage to the vicinity of the distal end portion along the peripheral edge portion of the window portion 101. ing. In particular, the size and shape of the rail cover 140 on the inner diameter side substantially match those of the inner rail portion 51. Further, at the right end portion of the rail cover 140 (that is, the portion that becomes the right end in the state of FIG. 5 where the rail cover 140 is attached to the front door frame 13), the portion where the ball guide passage protrudes from the side edge portion of the glass 137. A covering portion 141 for covering the surface is provided. With the above-described configuration of the rail cover 140, when the front door frame 13 is closed, the back surface of the rail cover 140 covers almost the entire area of the ball guide passage, so that the game ball jumps out of the ball guide passage. In addition, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem such as being caught in a gap formed between the outer rail portion 52 and the glass 137.

  Further, on the lower back side of the rail cover 140, a ridge 142 that extends in an arc shape along the inner edge and protrudes rearward is formed. The protrusion 142 is disposed so as to overlap the inner rail portion 51 in a state of entering the ball guide passage when the front door frame 13 is closed. Therefore, for example, even if a wire or a film is intruded through a gap between the front door frame 13 and the main body frame 12 to carry out an illegal act, the wire or the film is intruded into a game area inside the ball guide passage. Becomes very difficult. As a result, fraudulent acts performed using a wire, a film, or the like can be prevented. The ridge 142 may be formed in a wider range, for example, along the entire inner edge of the rail cover 140. According to such a configuration, it becomes difficult for a wire, a film, or the like to enter in a wider range, It is possible to more reliably prevent fraudulent acts performed using a wire, a film, or the like.

  Next, the configuration of the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. 6 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the rear structure of the pachinko machine 10 for each main part.

Therefore, the floating at the installation site of the game ball distributing unit 245 is prevented, and an illegal act caused by entering a wire, a film, or the like from the gap can be prevented. Note that a synthetic resin speaker box 246 is attached to the lower end portion of the main body frame 12 to surround the back of the speaker 20 installed on the back side of the back wall panel 17, and the speaker box 246 transmits the speaker sound to the rear. The sound quality in the low frequency range is improved by functioning so as not to miss.

  Next, the configuration of the first control board unit 201 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 is a front view of the first control board unit 201, FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the first control board unit 201, FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the first control board unit 201, and FIG. 16 shows the first control board unit 201. FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective view of the main control device 271 constituting the first control board unit 201, and FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the board box 273 constituting the main control device 271. is there. 19 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 13, FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the seal seal 330 attached to the main controller 271, and FIG. 21 is a front view and a rear view of the seal seal 330.

  The first control board unit 201 has a mounting base 251 having a substantially L shape, and the main control device 271 and the sound lamp control device 272 are mounted on the mounting base 251.

  The main control device 271 includes a CPU that controls the main control, a ROM that stores a game program, a RAM that stores necessary data according to the progress of the game, a port that communicates with various devices, and random numbers used in various lotteries. A main substrate 270 including a generator, a clock pulse generation circuit used for time counting and synchronization, etc. is provided, and the main substrate is accommodated in a substrate box 273 as an encapsulating means made of a transparent resin material or the like. Has been configured. In this embodiment, the CPU, ROM, and RAM are integrated into one chip on the CPU chip 501. However, the CPU, the ROM, and the RAM may not be integrated into one chip but may be configured as a chip for each function. Although not described in detail, an input / output drive IC chip 507 and a latch IC chip 508 are mounted on the main board 270.

  The substrate box 273 includes a box base 280 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a box cover 290 that covers an opening of the box base 280. In the box base 280, a side plate 282 is formed on the long side of the bottom plate 281 and a step 283 is formed on one side of the short side so as to be continuous with the side plate 282. The front end of the side plate portion 282 is bent inward. The right end portion of the bottom plate portion 281 serves as a mounting opening 284 for slidingly mounting the box cover 290. In this case, as shown in FIG. 18, the box cover 290 is attached from the attachment opening 284 and is slid until it contacts the stepped portion 283, so that the box cover 290 is attached at a predetermined position on the box base 280. ing.

  The box cover 290 is formed with an extending portion 291 so as to overlap the stepped portion 283 of the box base 280. The extension part 291 constitutes a sealing unit 274 (so-called caulking structure) as sealing means together with the step part 283 of the box base 280, and the box base 280 and the box cover 290 are connected by the sealing unit 274, and the substrate Box 273 is sealed. The sealing unit 274 can be applied to any structure as long as it connects the box base 280 and the box cover 290. Here, as shown in FIG. 17 and the like, a structure in which five sealing members 285 and 292 are formed. The box base 280 and the box cover 290 are connected by inserting a locking claw into the long hole of the sealing members 285 and 292. In this case, since the latching claw cannot be removed from the sealing members 285 and 292, it is necessary to destroy the sealing members 285 and 292 in order to open the substrate box 273. Therefore, it is possible to leave a history that the board box 273 has been opened illegally, and to discover that the main board 270 has been tampered with.

  A sticking portion 287 for sticking the seal seal 330 is formed on the mounting base 284 side of the box base 280. The affixing portion 287 is formed in a substantially plate shape along the short side of the box base 280. Further, a similar sticking part 294 is formed on the box cover 290 corresponding to the sticking part 287 formed on the box base 280, and both sticking parts 287 and 294 are in contact with each other. Both the pasting portions 287 and 294 are formed with screw holes 287a and 294a penetrating in the thickness direction, and the both pasting portions 287 and 294 (the box base 280 and the box cover 290) are fixed by the screws 299. That is, the box base 280 and the box cover 290 are fixed by screw fixing in the sealing unit 274 and the pasting portions 287 and 294 described above.

  The outer surfaces of the sticking portions 287 and 294 are flat surfaces, and a substantially rectangular sealing seal 330 is attached to the outer surfaces so as to straddle both the sticking portions 287 and 294. More specifically, the seal sticker 330 is folded in a substantially U-shape so as to straddle both the pasting portions 287 and 294 (see FIG. 19). In this case, the screw holes 287 a and 294 a of both the pasting portions 287 and 294 are covered with the seal seal 330. In FIG. 19, for convenience of explanation, the thickness dimension of the seal seal 330 is shown larger than the actual thickness dimension.

  Here, the configuration of the seal seal 330 will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21. FIG.

  The seal seal 330 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet 331, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base sheet 331 to form an adhesive layer 332. In addition, an IC chip 333 with an antenna is attached to a part of the adhesive layer 332. In FIG. 20, a release sheet 334 is shown on the back side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332. The release sheet 334 is peeled off when the seal seal 330 is attached to the substrate box 273, and the seal seal 330 is not inadvertently attached before the seal seal 330 is used.

  The base sheet 331 is formed of a flexible resin film such as a polyester film, has moderate brittleness, and is reactive to solvents and heat. Specifically, when toluene or the like that is soluble in the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332 is applied to the base sheet 331, the base sheet 331 changes color. Further, the base sheet 331 is also discolored when heat equal to or higher than a temperature (for example, 50 ° C.) at which the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is reduced. As a result, when the solvent is applied or heat is applied to remove the sealing sticker 330 from the pasting portions 287 and 294 of the substrate box 273, the base sheet 331 is discolored so that the trace of the fraudulent behavior is observed. Can leave.

  The adhesive of the adhesive layer 332 has an adhesive force that can be removed from the base sheet 331 when it is peeled off after being applied once, as in the case of a conventional seal. Therefore, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off, it cannot be applied again, and a part of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer remains on the sticking portions 287 and 294 side. Therefore, the trace which peeled off the seal | sticker seal | sticker 330 illegally can be left.

  The IC chip 333 with an antenna includes an IC chip 333a and an antenna portion 333b, and the IC chip 333a is disposed near the center of the long antenna portion 333b. The IC chip 333a is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. ID information as identification data is stored in the memory area. The antenna portion 333b is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the thickness thereof is thinner than that of the IC chip 333a. The antenna portion 333b is manufactured as an antenna pattern so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz.

  The ID information of the IC chip 333a is configured to be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit 333b, and the ID information transmitted from the antenna unit 333b is received by a scanner formed as a reader / writer. Can be read. Specifically, the scanner is called by a weak radio wave having the above frequency, and an induction electromagnetic field is formed by this radio wave. When the scanner is brought close to the antenna unit 333b to such an extent that the antenna unit 333b is located in the induction electromagnetic field, an electromotive force is generated in the antenna unit 333b by electromagnetic induction. The IC chip 333a can use the electromotive force as a power source to call the ID information stored in the memory area by the control unit and transmit it from the antenna unit 333b. The ID information thus transmitted is received by the scanner. Can be read.

  As shown in FIG. 21B, the IC chip 333 with an antenna (antenna portion 333b) has a diagonal direction from one corner of the base sheet 331 to the base sheet 331 on which the adhesive layer 332 is formed. It is arranged diagonally over the corner side. Specifically, the antenna part 333 b is not on the diagonal line of the base sheet 331, and the longitudinal direction of the antenna part 333 b intersects with both diagonal lines of the base sheet 331. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the long antenna portion 333b intersects all the side directions of the base sheet 331. And as the seal seal 330 is affixed across both the affixing parts 287 and 294, the antenna part 333b also straddles both the affixing parts 287 and 294.

  The seal seal 330 is formed with a large number of antenna cuts 335 arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b. The antenna cut 335 is a straight line extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b, and penetrates from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332 (FIG. 21). In (a), the antenna cut 335 is omitted). Incidentally, the direction in which the antenna cut 335 extends is a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b, and thus intersects with all the side directions of the base sheet 331. Further, the antenna cut 335 is slightly hung on the antenna portion 333b. In this case, since the antenna unit 333b is not divided by the antenna cut 335, no adverse effect is caused on the transmission of the ID information. Also, the antenna cut 335 located on one side of the antenna portion 333b and the antenna cut 335 located on the other side are shifted so that the antenna cut 335 does not line up in a straight line across the antenna portion 333b. ing. Specifically, the antenna cuts 335 located on one side of the antenna portion 333b and the antenna cuts 335 located on the other side are formed so as to be alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b.

  When the sealing seal 330 described above is to be peeled off from the sticking portions 287 and 294, the stress accompanying the peeling force is locally concentrated on the corner of the base sheet 331 or concentrated on the bent portion of the sealing seal 330. It peels off in the direction along one side of the sealing sticker 330 so that it may not do. This direction is a direction intersecting with the extending direction of the antenna portion 333b. Accordingly, the stress associated with the peeling force concentrates on the end of the antenna cut 335 located around the antenna portion 333b, so that the base sheet 331 is destroyed via the antenna cut 335, and the antenna portion 333b is accordingly moved. It will be divided. If the antenna unit 333b is divided, the ID information is not transmitted from the antenna unit 333b, so that the ID information cannot be read by the scanner. Therefore, it is assumed that the sealing box 330 is peeled off from the sticking portions 287 and 294, the board box 273 is opened, and the main board 270 is tampered with. In addition, it is possible to easily find the fraud.

  Corner cuts 336 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 330 so as to penetrate from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332. Specifically, the corner cut 336 is formed in an L shape so as to be along the corner inside the corner of the seal seal 330. Therefore, even if the seal seal 330 is not peeled off in the direction along one side but is peeled off from the corner side of the seal seal 330, the seal seal 330 is broken from the corner-side cut 336, leaving a trace of fraud. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 21, a large number of outer edge notches 337 are formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 330 from the outer end to the inner side. These outer edge notches 337 are formed in an acute V shape so as to open from the inside toward the outside, and are formed at equal intervals along the outer periphery of the seal seal 330. Therefore, when the sealing seal 330 is to be peeled off from the sticking portions 287 and 294 of the substrate box 273, the stress accompanying the peeling force is concentrated on the inner end portion of the outer edge notch 337, and the base sheet 331 is appropriately brittle as described above. Therefore, the sealing seal 330 is broken such as torn. Thereby, it is possible to leave a trace that the seal seal 330 has been peeled off, and it is possible to easily find out that an illegal act has been performed on the main board 270.

  However, in the configuration in which the outer edge notch 337 is formed as described above, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the entire side of the seal seal 330 along the direction perpendicular to the side, the seal seal 330 is hardly broken. That is, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner, or when the gap between adjacent outer edge cuts 337 at the outer edge of the seal seal 330 is picked and peeled off, the stress accompanying the peeling force is concentrated on the inner end of the few outer edge cuts 337. Therefore, the seal seal 330 is easily broken through the outer edge notch 337. On the other hand, when peeling from the entire side of the rectangular seal seal 330 along the direction perpendicular to the side, the stress associated with the peeling force is distributed to the inner ends of the many outer edge notches 337, and therefore, the outer edge notches 337. The seal seal 330 is hardly broken via Therefore, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off by the latter method, there is a case where an improper trace does not remain in the outer edge notch 337. On the other hand, as described above, the antenna portion 333b is disposed obliquely so as to extend from one corner side of the seal seal 330 to the diagonal corner side thereof. Even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off along the direction orthogonal to the side from the whole, the antenna portion 333b is divided, and an illegal act can be easily found.

  On the surface of the base sheet 331, as shown in FIG. 21A, an ink application part 341, an identification information part 342, and a model information part 343 are provided. The ink application unit 341 is applied with special ink that shows a pattern when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet rays. A plurality of numbers are described in the identification information section 342, and the numbers described in the identification information section 342 are different for each gaming machine. In this case, the numbers described in the identification information unit 342 are set in association with the ID information stored in the IC chip 333a. For example, when the ID information is registered as a number, the sum of the number of the ID information and the number described in the identification information unit 342 is the same in a plurality of gaming machines installed in a gaming hall or the like. Is set to In the model information section 343, the model name of the gaming machine, the manufacturer name of the gaming machine, and the like are described.

  Here, the upper region R1 of the seal seal 330 in FIG. 21A is located on the front side of the sticking portion 294 of the box cover 290. Therefore, since the ink application unit 341 and the identification information unit 342 can be visually recognized from the position facing the main control device 271, confirmation work of the ink application unit 341 and the identification information unit 342 can be easily performed. Further, the intermediate region R2 in FIG. 21A of the seal seal 330 is located on the side surfaces of both the pasting portions 287 and 294. Therefore, the contents described in the model information section 343 can be confirmed without removing the main controller 271 from the mounting base 251. The lower region R3 is located on the back side of the sticking part 287 of the box base 280.

  As described above, by providing the ink application unit 341 and the identification information unit 342, when the main control device 271 is illegally exchanged, it can be easily found that the exchange has been made. . That is, even if the replaced main controller for improper use cannot be distinguished from a regular one, it has been replaced by confirming that the pattern does not appear by irradiating the ink application part 341 with specific light. Can be found. Even if an IC chip with an antenna is provided on the seal sticker of the fraudulent main control device, it is exchanged by reading the ID information with a scanner and checking the information and the information in the identification information section 342. Can be found.

  The sound lamp control device 272 includes, for example, a CPU for controlling sound and lamp display in accordance with instructions from the main control device 271 or the display control device 214, and a sound lamp control board including ROM, RAM, various ports, and the like. The sound lamp control board is housed in a board box 275 made of a transparent resin material or the like. A power relay board 276 is mounted on the sound lamp control device 272, and the power of the power supply device 313 is supplied to the display control device 214 and the sound lamp control device 272 via the power relay board 276. .

  The mounting base 251 is made of a synthetic resin such as a polycarbonate resin, and is colored opaque, for example, green or blue. However, the mounting base 251 may be colorless and transparent or translucent. Two flat substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253 are formed on the surface of the mounting base 251. These substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253 extend in a direction orthogonal to the length and breadth, and are formed with a step in the front-rear direction. Standing portions 254 erected from the substrate mounting surface 252 are integrally formed on the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the substrate mounting surface 252, respectively. The main controller 271 is disposed on the horizontally long substrate mounting surface 252 and the sound lamp controller 272 is disposed on the vertically long substrate mounting surface 253. At this time, the upper and lower sides of main controller 271 are supported by upright portions 254. The sound lamp control device 172 is fixed to the board mounting surface 253 with screws or the like at a plurality of locations.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the substrate mounting surface 252 is formed with horizontally elongated through holes 256 at two positions on the left and right. On the other hand, the substrate box 273 of the main control device 271 is provided with rotationally-operated fixtures 277 at two positions on the left and right sides of the back surface thereof. When the main controller 271 is mounted on the board mounting surface 252, the main controller 271 is placed so that the fixing tool 277 is inserted into the through hole 256 of the board mounting surface 252, and the fixing tool 277 is placed in this state. The main control device 271 is locked by the turning operation. Therefore, the main control device 271 cannot be removed unless the lock 277 is unlocked from the back side of the first control board unit 201, so that a deterrent effect such as board removal is obtained.

  In addition, in the mount 251, a shielding part 257 for shielding an opening leading to the back space of the substrate mounting surface 252 is provided below the main substrate mounting surface 252. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a hand or the like from being inserted into the back surface of the mounting base 251 from below the board mounting surface 252 so that the locked state of the fixture 277 cannot be illegally released. Further, when the first control board unit 201 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, the upper portion of the unit 201 is covered with the back pack unit 203, so that it is also prevented that a hand or the like is inserted into the back surface of the mounting base 251. The locked state of the fixture 277 cannot be illegally released.

  As described above, the first control board unit 201 cannot be removed unless the back pack unit 203 is opened at a predetermined angle or larger, or the unit 203 is not removed. The back pack unit 203 cannot be opened unless the main body frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11 by key operation. That is, if the main body frame 12 cannot be opened, the first control board unit 201 cannot be rotated or removed as a result, and the main controller 271 cannot be removed. Therefore, unauthorized replacement or theft of the main controller 271 can be effectively prevented.

  The main control device 271 is arranged on the near side when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine 10, and the sound lamp control device 272 is arranged on the back side. In this case, since the substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253 are formed with steps in the front-rear direction, the control devices 271 and 272 are mounted in a state where the main controller 271 and the sound lamp controller 272 are mounted on the substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253. Are arranged with part of them stacked one after the other. That is, as can be seen in FIG. 14 and the like, the main controller 271 is arranged in a state in which a part thereof (about 1/3 in the present embodiment) is floated. Therefore, it is possible to extend the sound lamp control device 272 to a region overlapping with the main control device 271, and, from another viewpoint, it is possible to extend the main control device 271 to a region overlapping with the sound lamp control device 272. Even within the limited size of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to satisfactorily cope with the increase in size of the control boards 271 and 272, and the control devices 271 and 272 can be installed efficiently. Further, in a state where the first control board unit 201 is mounted on the game board 30, a space is secured behind the board mounting surface 252, and the variable winning device 32 and its electric wiring can be installed without difficulty. Note that lattice-like ribs 258 are provided on the back surface of the substrate mounting surface 252 to enhance the support strength of the main controller 271.

  A pair of upper and lower retaining pins 261 are provided on the left end surface of the mounting base 251. By attaching the retaining pins 261 to the bearing bracket 231, the first control board unit 201 can rotate with respect to the game board 30. Cantilevered so that it can move. A pair of upper and lower nai latches 262 are provided at the right end portion of the mounting base 251 as fasteners to be fitted into the fastening holes 232. A long hole 263 in which the locking claw piece 233 is locked is provided at the upper end portion of the mounting base 251. Therefore, the first control board unit 201 is fixed to the game board 30 by fitting the nail latch 262 into the tightened hole 232 and locking the locking claw piece 233 in the long hole 263. It should be noted that the bearing fitting 231 and the latch pin 261 are in the support shaft portion M1, the fastening hole 232 and the ny latch 262 are in the fastening portion M2, and the locking claw piece 233 and the long hole 263 are in the locking claw portion M3. Each corresponds.

  Next, the configuration of the second control board unit 202 will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 is a front view of the second control board unit 202, FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the unit 202, and FIG. 22 is an exploded perspective view of the unit 202.

  The second control board unit 202 has a horizontally long mounting base 301 on which a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a power supply device 313 and a card unit connection board 314 are mounted. The payout control device 311 and the launch control device 312 are provided with a control board including a central control CPU, a ROM, a RAM, various ports, and the like. The payout control board of the payout control device 311 controls the payout of prize balls and rental balls. The launch motor 229 is controlled by the launch control board of the launch controller 312 in accordance with the operation of the game ball launch handle 18 by the player. In addition, a predetermined power supply voltage required by various control devices or the like is generated and output by the power supply board of the power supply device 313. The card unit connection board 314 is electrically connected to the ball lending operation unit 120 on the front surface of the pachinko machine and a card unit (not shown), and mainly receives a ball lending operation command by a player and outputs it to the payout control device 311. It is. Note that the card unit connection board 314 is not necessary in a cash machine in which game balls are lent directly to the upper plate from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit.

  The payout control device 311, the firing control device 312, the power supply device 313, and the card unit connection substrate 314 are configured to be accommodated in substrate boxes 315, 316, 317, and 318 made of a transparent resin material, respectively. In particular, in the payout control device 311, as with the main control device 271, the substrate box 315 constituting the enclosing means includes a box base and a box cover, which are connected to each other so as not to be opened by a sealing unit 319 as sealing means, As a result, the substrate box 315 is sealed. The payout control device 311 is provided with a state return switch 321. For example, when the state return switch 321 is pressed when a payout error occurs, such as a ball clogging of the payout motor described later, the payout motor is rotated forward and reverse so that the ball clogging is eliminated (return to the normal state). It has become. The power supply device 313 is provided with a RAM erase switch 323. This pachinko machine 10 has a backup function for various data, and even if a power failure occurs, it retains the state at the time of the power failure, and returns to the state at the time of the power failure at the time of recovery from the power failure (power recovery). It can be done. Therefore, for example, when the power supply is turned off in the normal procedure as in the case of the game hall being closed, the state before the turn-off is stored and held. However, if the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch 323, the RAM data is initialized. It is like that.

  The mounting base 301 is made of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin molded product, and a flat board mounting surface 302 is provided on the surface thereof. On the board mounting surface 302, the firing control device 312, the power supply device 313, and the card unit connection board 314 are mounted side by side and fixed with screws or the like. A substantially flat pedestal plate 303 is placed on the substrate box 317 of the power supply device 313, and a payout control device 311 is mounted on the pedestal plate 303 and fixed with screws or the like. Since the pedestal plate 303 is interposed between the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313, for example, in order to install a metal plate for noise removal, a metal plate or the like may be attached to the pedestal plate 303, and noise countermeasures are simple. Can be realized.

  The mounting base 301 is provided with a pair of upper and lower retaining pins 305 at the right end when viewed from the rear of the pachinko machine 10, and the second control board unit is inserted into the bearing portion 237 from above. 202 is cantilevered so as to be rotatable with respect to the body frame 12. A pair of upper and lower nail latches 306 are provided as fasteners at the left end of the mounting base 301, and the second control board unit 202 is fixed to the main body frame 12 by fitting the nail latch 306 into the tightened hole 239. The bearing portion 237 and the latch pin 305 correspond to the support shaft portion M4, and the fastened hole 239 and the ny latch 306 correspond to the fastening portion M5, respectively.

  Next, the configuration of the back pack unit 203 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 is a front view of the back pack unit 203, and FIG. 24 is an exploded perspective view of the back pack unit 203.

  The back pack unit 203 is configured by integrating a back pack 351 and a game ball payout mechanism 352. The back pack 351 is integrally formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as ABS resin, and includes a substantially flat base portion 353 and a protective cover portion 354 that protrudes rearward of the pachinko machine 10 and has a horizontally long substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The protective cover 354 has a shape in which the left and right side surfaces and the upper surface are closed and only the lower surface is opened, and has a size sufficient to surround at least the variable display unit 35.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323. And. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in an AC 24 volt power supply supplied from the outside, and generates a + 12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, a + 5V power supply for logic, a backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. Then, these + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 271 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power shutdown) occurs when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311. By the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the NMI interrupt process.

It is. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 to the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311. Thereby, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the data in the respective backup areas 503a and 513a is cleared in the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  A sealing seal 330 having an IC chip 333 with an antenna is attached so as to straddle the box base 280 that houses the main substrate 270 and the box cover 290. In order to open the substrate box 273, it is necessary to peel off the sealing seal 330 from the sticking portions 287 and 294 and release the screws from the sticking portions 287 and 294. In this case, the outer edge of the seal seal 330 is formed with an outer edge notch 337 having an acute inner edge, and the base sheet 331 has moderate brittleness. When peeling from the corner, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the inner end portion (pointed inward) of the outer edge notch 337, and the base sheet 331 is largely destroyed. Further, since the seal seal 330 is bent and attached to the sticking portions 287 and 294 in a substantially U-shape, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner, stress caused by the peeling force is applied to the bent portion. Similarly, the base sheet 331 is greatly destroyed. In this case, the trace that the seal seal 330 has been illegally peeled off, that is, fraud has been performed on the main board 270 remains clearly. Therefore, a person who tries to cheat on the main board 270 peels off the stress associated with the peeling force from one side of the sealing seal 330 along the direction perpendicular to the side to the whole side of the base sheet 331. To prevent the base member from being destroyed as much as possible. On the other hand, when the antenna portion 333b is arranged so that its longitudinal direction intersects all the side directions of the seal seal 330, when the seal seal 330 is to be peeled from the entire side, the antenna portion 333b is arranged. Destruction occurs in the direction intersecting with the long side direction. And since the antenna part 333b is elongate and the dimension of the direction which cross | intersects the longitudinal direction of the antenna part 333b is short, the antenna part 333b will be parted in the position where destruction generate | occur | produced. In this case, since the manager of the game hall cannot check the ID information stored in the IC chip 333a by the scanner, it is possible to easily and surely find out that fraud has been performed on the main board 270. .

  Further, as described above, the antenna portion 333b is arranged on one side of the base sheet 331 by arranging the antenna portion 333b so as to extend from one corner side of the base sheet 331 to the diagonal corner side thereof. The length of the antenna portion 333b is ensured to be large as compared with the configuration provided along. Therefore, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna part 333b to be divided when the seal seal 330 is peeled off.

  Further, by arranging the IC chip 333a at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b, the antenna portion 333b extends from one corner side of the seal seal 330 to the diagonal corner side as described above. In the arrangement, the position of the IC chip 333a is near the center of the seal seal 330. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the sealing seal 330 from being easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip 333a. That is, since the IC chip 333a has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip 333a in the seal seal 330 and the pasting portions 287 and 294. In this case, if the IC chip 333a is on the outer edge side of the seal seal 330, the seal seal 330 is easily peeled off by placing a finger in the gap between the outer edge and the attaching portions 287 and 294. On the other hand, when the position of the IC chip 333a is near the center of the seal seal 330, a gap is generated between the outer edge of the seal seal 330 and the pasting portions 287 and 294 due to the thickness of the IC chip 333a. There is no.

  Further, by forming the antenna cut 335 around the antenna portion 333b in the base sheet 331, the base sheet 331 is destroyed from the end of the antenna cut 335 when the seal seal 330 is peeled off. As a result, the antenna portion 333b is also destroyed, and the antenna portion 333b is divided at that position. Therefore, the antenna portion 333b is easily divided, and discovery when fraud is performed on the main board 270 can be more reliably performed. In particular, by making the antenna cut 335 into a linear cut extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b and all the side directions of the base sheet 331, the sealing seal 330 is peeled in a direction along one side thereof. In this case, the stress accompanying the peeling force tends to concentrate on the antenna part side end of the antenna cut 335. Thereby, the division of the antenna part 333b when the seal seal 330 is peeled in the direction along the one side can be generated more reliably. Since the antenna cut 335 is formed up to a position reaching the antenna portion 333b, the antenna portion 333b is easily cut off when the seal seal 330 is illegally peeled off. In addition, since the antenna cuts 335 are formed so as not to be arranged in a straight line across the antenna portion 333b, there is no relation to fraud such as, for example, when the sealing seal 330 is attached at the time of manufacturing a gaming machine. In this case, it is possible to prevent the antenna notch 335 located across the antenna portion 333b from being connected and the antenna portion 333b from being divided accordingly.

  Further, by forming L-shaped corner-side cuts 336 penetrating from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332 at the four corners of the seal seal 330, the seal seal 330 is When peeled off from the corner side, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end of the corner side cut 336, and the seal seal 330 is broken from the corner side cut 336. Therefore, a trace that fraud has been performed on the main board 270 remains on the seal seal 330, and it can be easily found that the fraud has been performed. Further, even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off in a direction along one side of the seal seal 330 in order to avoid the destruction of the seal seal 330 via the corner-side cut 336, the antenna portion 333b is divided as described above. So fraud can be easily detected.

  In addition, when the solvent which shows the solubility with respect to the adhesive which comprises the adhesive layer 332 is apply | coated to the sealing sticker 330, it is set as the structure which the base sheet 331 changes in color, and the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 332 with a solvent is used. Even if a fraudulent act is performed on the main board 270 by peeling off the seal seal 330 without dividing the antenna portion 333b, it is possible to easily find out that the fraudulent act has been performed. Similarly, when heat of a predetermined temperature or higher is applied to the seal seal 330, the base sheet 331 is discolored so that the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332 can be increased by applying heat of the predetermined temperature or higher. Even if a fraudulent act is performed on the main board 270 by peeling off the seal seal 330 without dividing the antenna portion 333b, it is possible to easily find out that the fraudulent act has been performed.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) Modification examples of the outer edge notch formed on the outer edge of the seal seal are shown in FIGS. 28A to 28C show the configuration of the back side of the seal seal. In FIGS. 28A to 28C, the antenna cut 335 and the corner cut 336 are omitted, but whether or not to provide them is arbitrary.

  First, in the configuration shown in FIG. 28A, the outer edge of the seal seal 561 is not mountain-shaped, and a large number of linear outer edge notches 561a are formed in the outer peripheral direction of the seal seal 561 from the outer periphery toward the inner side. Yes. The outer edge notch 561a may be formed in a curved shape.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 28 (b), the outer edge of the seal seal 562 is formed with an outer edge notch 562a opened in an acute V-shape from the inner side toward the outer edge as in the above embodiment. Furthermore, a linear straight cut 562b extending inward from the inner end of the outer edge cut 562a is formed.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 28C, the seal seal 563 has a large number of outer edge notches 563a in the outer peripheral direction. However, the outer edge of the outer edge notches 563a is not linear and swells inside the notch. It is curved. Therefore, the space between the adjacent outer edge notches 563a at the outer edge of the seal seal 563 is not sharpened toward the outer side, but is curved. In this configuration, the inner end of the outer edge notch 563a is substantially acute.

  Even with the above configuration, if you try to peel off the seal seal from its corner, or if you try to peel it off between the adjacent outer edge cuts on the outer edge of the seal seal, the stress associated with the peeling force will be applied to the inner side of the outer edge cut. Concentration at the edge and destruction such as tearing of the seal. Even if the seal seal is peeled off along one side, the antenna portion 333b is divided because the IC chip 333 with an antenna is provided as in the above embodiment.

  (B) The modification about the structure of a seal seal | sticker is shown to FIG. 29 (a), (b) and FIG. 30 (a), (b). FIGS. 29A and 29B and FIGS. 30A and 30B show the configuration of the back side of the seal seal. Also, in FIGS. 29A and 29B and FIGS. 30A and 30B, the antenna cut 335 and the corner cut 336 are omitted, but whether or not these are provided is arbitrary. It is.

  First, in FIG. 29A, an IC chip 333 with an antenna is provided on a diagonal line (indicated by a one-dot chain line in the drawing) of the base sheet 331. Thereby, the longitudinal dimension of IC chip 333 with an antenna can be enlarged as much as possible. In FIG. 29A, the positions of both end portions of the IC chip 333 with antenna are inside the corner angle of the base sheet 331, but the positions of both end portions are at the corner angles of the base sheet 331. It may be a configuration.

  In FIG. 29B, the seal sticker 330 is provided with an IC chip 565 with an antenna provided with an IC chip 566 and an antenna portion 567 as in the above embodiment mode. A bent portion 567 a that is bent in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the portion 567 is formed. Thereby, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner side, the antenna portion 567 is divided at the bent portion 567a. Therefore, even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner side, the antenna portion 567 is divided, and it is possible to easily and surely detect that an illegal act has been performed on the main board 270. it can. Note that by forming a cut similar to the antenna cut 335 in the above embodiment around the bent portion 567a, the cut in the bent portion 567a can be more reliably generated.

  Further, in this configuration, since the outer edge notch 337 is formed only at the corner, even if the seal seal 330 is peeled in a direction along one side thereof, the seal seal 330 is hardly broken via the outer edge notch 337. . On the other hand, since the antenna portion 567 is arranged so that its longitudinal direction intersects with all the side directions, the antenna portion 567 is divided when the seal seal 330 is peeled in a direction along one side. The Rukoto.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 30A, the IC chip with antenna 333 is not arranged so as to extend from one corner side of the sealing seal 330 to the diagonal corner side thereof. They are arranged so as to extend from one side to the adjacent one side. Even in this configuration, the antenna portion 333b has its longitudinal direction intersecting all the side directions of the seal seal 330, and is located over the upper region R1, the intermediate region R2, and the lower region R3. Therefore, it will straddle both pasting parts 287 and 294. Therefore, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off in the direction along one side thereof, the antenna portion 333b can be sufficiently divided.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 30B, the seal seal 569 has a parallelogram shape. In this case, the IC chip 333 with the antenna is provided so as to be located from one corner side on the side where the length of the diagonal line is large to the corner side facing it. Thereby, in the seal seal 569 having a parallelogram shape, it is possible to secure a wide region where the IC chip 333 with the antenna is located while minimizing the width dimension of the antenna portion 333b. In addition, with this configuration, the area of the seal seal 569 can be reduced while ensuring the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b as large as possible.

  (C) The structure shown in FIGS. 31A and 31B may be added to the seal seal 330 in the above embodiment. FIG. 31A shows the structure of the surface of the seal seal. However, the information display portion 342 and the like are omitted. FIG. 31B shows the configuration of the back surface of the seal seal. However, the corner cut 336 is omitted.

  First, in the configuration shown in FIG. 31A, among the plurality of outer edge notches 572 formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 571, two opposing outer edge notches 572 are intermittently connected so that the seal seal 571 is broken. A line 573 is formed. As a result, when the seal seal 571 is to be peeled off, the inner edge of one outer edge cut 572 is broken, and the break reaches the outer edge cut at the adjacent position or the opposite outer edge cut through the break guide line 573. . Thereby, a part of the seal seal 571 is separated, and it is possible to clearly leave a trace that the seal seal 571 has been peeled off. Further, as the seal seal 571 is broken, the antenna portion of the IC chip with an antenna (not shown) is also divided. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably detect that an illegal act has been performed on the main board. Note that the destruction guide lines 573 are not limited to a lattice shape, and may be provided in a radial manner or irregularly, for example. Further, the technical idea in this configuration is that “a fracture guide line is formed on the seal seal (base member) by intermittently connecting at least two outer edge cuts among the plurality of outer edge cuts”, or “ The fracture guide line was formed on the seal seal (base member) so as to intermittently connect the opposite outer edge notches of the outer edge notches of the other.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 31B, the sealing seal 330 is provided with an IC chip 575 with an antenna provided with an IC chip 576 and an antenna portion 577 as in the above embodiment. A destruction guide line 577a is formed so as to intermittently connect the antenna cuts 335 formed so as to sandwich the antenna portion 577. Thereby, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off, the antenna portion 577 is more reliably destroyed via the antenna cut 335 and the destruction guide line 577a. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably detect that an illegal act has been performed on the main board.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the outer edge notch 337 is formed over the entire outer periphery of the seal seal 330, but this may be changed. For example, the outer edge notch 337 may be formed only at the corners of the seal seal 330. Even in this case, if the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner, the outer edge notch 337 breaks. Therefore, a person who intends to cheat attempts to peel off the seal seal 330 in a direction along one side of the seal seal 330. In this case, similarly to the above-described embodiment, it is possible to easily and surely find out that the antenna unit 333b is divided and fraud is performed on the main board 270.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the base sheet 331 is formed of a polyester film, so that moderate brittleness is imparted. However, the base sheet 331 is formed of a material that is less brittle than the polyester film. It is good also as composition to do. Even in this case, when the outer edge cut 337 having an acute inner edge is formed, at least when the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner, the seal seal 330 (base sheet 331) Will be destroyed.

  (F) In the above embodiment, the IC chip 333a is arranged in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b. It may be a configuration.

  (G) In the above embodiment, the corner-side cuts 336 as the corner-side cuts formed at the four corners of the base sheet 331 are formed in a substantially L shape so as to follow the corner portion of the base sheet 331. However, this may be changed. For example, the structure in which the cut extending in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet 331 and the cut extending in the short side direction are not continuous may be employed.

  (H) In the above embodiment, the base sheet 331 is discolored when a predetermined solvent is applied to the seal seal 330 or heat of a predetermined temperature or more is applied. It is good also as a structure which changes in quality. Specifically, the base sheet 331 is melted. Even with this configuration, a predetermined solvent was applied to the seal seal 330, or heat higher than a predetermined temperature was applied to the seal seal 330, the seal seal 330 was peeled off, and an illegal act was performed on the main board 270. Can be easily discovered.

  (I) The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the seal seal 330 may have a two-layer structure, and the IC chip 333 with an antenna may be embedded between the two pressure-sensitive adhesive layers. In this case, if the sealing seal 330 is to be peeled off, the IC chip 333 with the antenna is pulled by the adhesive layer located on the base sheet 331 side and the adhesive layer located on the substrate box 273 side, and the antenna portion 333b is divided. Can be generated.

  (J) In the above embodiment, the identification information unit 342 has a configuration in which a plurality of numbers are described. However, if the ID information is associated with the ID information stored in the IC chip 333a, this is changed. May be. For example, a configuration in which a plurality of alphabets are described in the identification information unit 342 may be used, or a configuration in which alphabets and numbers are described.

  (K) In the above-described embodiment, both the pasting portions 287 and 294 of the box base 280 and the box cover 290 are fixed by the screws 299. However, the screws may not be fixed. Even in this case, in order to open the substrate box 273, it is necessary to slide the box cover 290 with respect to the box base 280. Further, the seal seal 330 is attached to the attaching portion 287 formed on the mounting port 284 side. Since it is affixed to 294, it is necessary to peel off the seal seal 330 when performing fraud on the main board 270.

  (L) In the above-described embodiment, the seal seal 330 is bent in a substantially U shape and attached to the box base 280 and the box cover 290. However, this may be changed. For example, the seal seal 330 is bent and pasted with a predetermined curvature so that the direction in which the bending center extends is substantially parallel to the direction in which one side of the seal seal 330 extends, or the seal seal 330 is bent into a substantially L shape. It is good also as a structure stuck. Even in these cases, if the seal seal 330 is peeled in a direction along one side, the stress of the peeling force is concentrated on the bent portion.

  Alternatively, the seal seal 330 may be attached without bending. Even in this configuration, when the base sheet 331 has moderate brittleness, if the seal seal 330 is to be peeled off from the corner side, stress accompanying the force to peel off to the corner side is concentrated and the base sheet 331 is Destroyed greatly. Therefore, a person who intends to cheat attempts to peel off the seal seal 330 in a direction along one side of the seal seal 330. In this case, when the seal seal 330 is peeled in the direction along one side, the antenna portion 333b is divided as in the above embodiment, so that it is easy to confirm that fraud has been performed on the main board 270. Can be surely discovered.

  (M) The sealing seal 330 in the above embodiment may be attached so as to straddle the board box 273 and the mounting base 251. In this case, it can be easily found that the main control device 271 is illegally removed from the mounting base 251.

  (N) As a countermeasure against fraud to the payout control device 311, the sealing sticker 330 in the above embodiment may be attached to the substrate box 315 constituting the payout control device 311 and the substrate box 315 may be sealed. Alternatively, the seal seal 330 may be attached so as to straddle the board box 315 of the payout control device 311 and the mounting base 301 on which the payout control device 311 is mounted. Since the payout control device 311 performs control related to payout of the game ball, if the payout control device 311 is fraudulent, there is a risk of causing great damage to the game hall or the like. On the other hand, by adopting a configuration in which the seal sticker 330 is attached to the payout control device 311 as in this configuration, an illegal act against the payout control device 311 can be easily found, and a game hall or the like can be found. The occurrence of damage can be suppressed. In addition to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311, in a configuration in which a control device that performs control related to payout of a game ball (giving a privilege) is provided, the seal in the above embodiment is attached to the board box of the control device. It is preferable that the seal 330 is attached.

  (O) In the above embodiment, the main control device 271 is configured to determine a fine combination of stop symbols, a symbol variation pattern, and a reach effect in the symbol display device 41, but this may be changed. . For example, the main control device 271 may have a configuration in which the display control device 214 determines these without determining a fine combination of stop symbols, a symbol variation pattern, and a reach effect in the symbol display device 41. In this case, the main control device 271 determines whether a jackpot that shifts to a high probability state after transitioning to a normal jackpot state, a jackpot that transitions to a normal state after transitioning to a super jackpot state, or no jackpot occurrence occurs in the game round. A display command including whether it occurs and the color switching display time displayed on the first specific lamp unit 47 is output to the display control device 214. Then, the display control device 214 determines a fine combination of stop symbols, a symbol variation pattern, and a reach effect based on the display command from the main controller 271 and displays the symbol variation display within the range of the switching display time. To control. With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the processing load of the main control device 271 while achieving the effects of the above embodiment.

  (P) In the above embodiment, the first specific lamp unit 47 is provided separately from the symbol display device 41 that performs variable display of the first symbol. However, the first specific lamp unit 47 may not be provided.

  (Q) Other types of pachinko machines different from the above embodiment, such as a pachinko machine in which an electric accessory is released a predetermined number of times when a game ball enters a specific area of a special device, or a game ball in a specific area of a special device It can also be applied to pachinko machines that generate a big hit when they enter, pachinko machines equipped with other objects, arrange ball machines, sparrow balls, and other gaming machines.

  Also, a non-ball-type gaming machine, for example, a plurality of reels with a plurality of types of symbols attached in the circumferential direction, starts rotation of the reel by inserting a medal and operating a start lever, and a stop switch is operated. If a specific symbol or a combination of specific symbols is established on the active line visible from the display window after the reel has stopped after a predetermined time has passed, a privilege such as paying out medals is given to the player It can also be applied to slot machines.

  In addition, a pachinko machine and a slot machine that have a take-in device and start rotation of a reel by operating a start lever after a predetermined number of game balls stored in the storage unit are taken in by the take-in device It can also be applied to a gaming machine in which is integrated.
